The maps that are available now do increase the torque and redline.
This of course does add a little more kick.
I don't however expect any more MAPs until after SEMA (hope I'm wrong).

Why wait, the numbers are out there already.

Lastly, even though big torque in the mid-range is fun, our transmission isn't rated for very much and I think our ECU may be programmed to soften the blow. For a nice usable engine, I think 220 ft-lbs held from below 3,000 rpm to 6,500+ rpm would be about perfect, probably not too aggressive and great fun in the car.
What, ME wait?
Never!

I don't think we will have too much trouble with the transmission.
The FiST uses a very similar Getrag trans as the '04 Mini I had.
I built that Mini to over 300 HP and never had a bet of trouble from the trans or drive line.
